Video Games What video games are you currently playing?

new vegas is 20 bucks at gamestop. with the patch its pretty much equivalent with F3...plus its got a couple of cool new things, like modding guns.

oh, i've played New Vegas extensively, when i had roommates that had a ps3. i love it and can't wait to get it for my cpu !

...wait, with the patch? what exactly do you mean here?

Still Fallout 3 ! cuz i'm poor, yo !

just getting into fallout 3 now as welll (i started it awhile ago but stopped cos i had other games i was wanting to play instead).

there's something incredibly involving and mesmerising about the fallout ridden rpg gameplay. even with the buggy (kinda crappy) controls and gameplay, it seems to be a sick game : )

when i played it on xbox it froze and glitched all the time, but since i got it for PC i've had no problems. also, i'm starting to learn that PC gaming is just way more awesome than console for so many reasons. (personally)

Yuh like how you can rent games to try them out, how you don't have to mess with openGL config files to adjust your draw distance, and how the games play off the disc so you don't run out of hd space. Not to mention PC gaming rigs are far cheaper then a console, and how most AAA titles are exclusive to PC, since the developers are so happy with the lack of pirating on PC's.

what will happen in the future ,i think, is that pcs will simply become as portable as current consoles and the gaming consoles will have no good reason to exist, there are already gaming notebooks which you can plug easily into your tv and plug some consolish controllers if you wish, but those are just too expensive at this point.

I'm guessing it'll pretty much be a future variant of one of these things -

I've always thought the PC game industry should develop a hardware platform (and make it either a breakout box or a PCI card) with a set of standards and make PC games for that - essentially a console, but due to the unified architecture, no more sub-par experiences for users whose hardware doesn't meet the minimum standards.

I'm not playing a goddamn thing right now since the power transformer for my xbox is borked.

This pretty much ignores the point of having seperate handheld and console systems. It's going to be a long time before technology is so good that size won't be a limitation on processing power. Handheld systems will get better, and consoles will get better, not eliminated (not until cloud gaming takes off)

There would be no point. Computers are already processing/graphics units, why sell them an entirely redundant graphics/processing

device that is essentially a whole new computer. Why not just duct tape your xbox to your macbook and call it a PC gaming revolution.

Cloud gaming is the future.

i prefer console gaming cos i'm a lazy bum and prefer crashed out on couch half conscious video gaming to sitting at desk. it's just a shame that alot of the time good pc titles are ported over to consoles in a crappy buggy kinda way.

anyone fancy playing some mk online? (xbox 360). think my cyrax is decent enough now to take some doods on B)

What's up with all this hacking shit, there's going on at the moment?

If that was Introversion I would've expected that it was a bit of viral advertising.

My fucking ps3 is buggered again so I'm playing nothing. Just when I was really getting into Portal 2 and BAM. I can't be arsed to re-flow it again so I guess money will need to be produced.

Any good deals going in UK?

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

...and a bit of Minecraft until Pokemon Blue arrives.
